served by the expansion and development project.  The bill would
require the  secretary, in conjunction with the Director of Parks and

the Legislature a master plan for the expansion and development of
the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area that is designed to accomplish
specified goals.
   (2) The Budget Act of 1999 allocates $4,000,000 for the Kenneth
Hahn State Recreation Area.
   This bill would authorize the expenditure, at the direction of the
Secretary of Resources, of $500,000 of that amount for the
development of the master plan required pursuant to the bill, thereby
making an appropriation.
